Can I use a different type of milk instead of heavy cream?
Yes! You can substitute heavy cream with any nut milk like almond or coconut milk. Just make sure it's unsweetened to keep it low carb.
What can I use instead of fresh blueberries?
If fresh blueberries aren't available, frozen work great. Just thaw them first and they'll cook down into the syrup just fine.
How long can I store the chia pudding?
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Give it a good stir before serving.
Is there a way to add sweetness without sugar?
Yes, add a low-carb sweetener like erythritol or stevia to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust to your preference.
Can I add more flavor to the pudding?
Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of almond extract to the mixture for extra flavor.
Looks delicious, can't wait to try. Where did you get the glass containers shown in the video?
They are from Pampered Chef. I actually found them at a yard sale, but here is the amazon link https://amzn.to/42pr9D2 or if you know someone who sells pampered chef, you can get it from them.
This is soooo good. Thank you for sharing.
Hi! I am glad you liked it!
So easy to make & delicious as well!!! I use them for breakfast at work since they are easily portable.
Absolutely delicious. My husband who is not doing keto with me stole it, and ate it for dessert instead of the non-keto chocolate mousse in pecan crust that he has specifically requested a few days prior.
